New acquisitions Geoffrey Donaldson Institute

Last year, the Geoffrey Donaldson Instituut (GDI) in Noord-Scharwoude, the Netherlands, opened its doors. The GDI promotes research of film production, film screening and film culture in the Netherlands. At the moment, you can visit a small, delightful exhibition 'Bert Haanstra - schilder, tekenaar, fotograaf', about the Oscar winning Dutch director (on view till 16 October 2014). GDI also produced a beautiful new book on Haanstra, written by Hans Schoots. Chairman of the board of GDI is film historian Egbert Barten, whose postcard collection is permanently on view at EFSP. Today, a choice from his latest postcard acquisitions.

There is more than Hollywood...

European Film Star Postcards is a blog, dedicated to the stars of the European cinema. And to their photographers, the publishers of their postcards, and to the fans who collected them.

EFSP is also an elementary database. Here you can find bios, rare - and not so rare - postcards and film clips. EFSP is a non-commercial educational blog. If you own copyright protected material and do not wish it to appear on this site it will be promptly removed after contacting us.

Or do you like to share scans of your vintage postcards or maybe your choice of 10 Favourite European Film Star Postcards? Mail us, and join our exploration.
